[Global Times Comprehensive Report] According to reports from CNN and the Guardian on the 29th, before the end of a meeting of the Mexican Senate on the 27th, Moreno, president of the opposition Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI) in Mexico, had a physical conflict with Noronha, president of the Senate and member of the ruling Morena Party, and the scene was once out of control.

At the time of the incident, Moreno walked to the rostrum, grabbed Noronha's arm, and then the two sides pushed each other. It can be seen from the live broadcast that Moreno asked to speak many times, reached out to pull Noronha, and even slapped him on the neck (see picture). Norodom said,"Don't touch me" and tried to break free. In the process, Moreno pushed a staff member who tried to step forward to stop him to the ground.

One of the topics of the meeting on the same day was "whether to allow foreign troops to enter Mexico." Moreno's party and its allies accused the opposition PRI and the National Action Party (PAN) of supporting U.S. military intervention, but both sides denied it. Just days ago, a PAN MP publicly said in the U.S. Fox news program, "Welcome America to help fight Mexico's drug trafficking group," a statement sparked a wave of rumors.

According to reports, the fuse of this conflict originated from the agenda of the meeting. Moreno posted on social media afterwards that the ruling party deliberately changed its schedule temporarily to prevent the opposition from speaking out. "This cowardice triggered the subsequent scene". Moreno also said: "When Noronha crossed the line, he knew exactly what he was doing. I will always respond positively and defend Mexico without fear." Noronha insisted at the press conference that it was the opposition party who provoked first. "They besieged me but said it was ". Noronha also announced that he had filed a criminal complaint with the prosecution, and held an emergency meeting on the 29th, proposing to expel Moreno and three other PRI members from the Senate.

CNN said that violence in Mexico's Congress is rare, but not the first time. In 2006, physical conflicts broke out between members of Congress due to the disputed results of the presidential election. (Zhou Yang)
